MODEL 2009
International Workshop on Modeling, Simulation, and Grid Computing
May 4 - 6, 2009
Holy Name University, Tagbilaran City
Bohol, Philippines

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS AND PARTICIPATION:
DEAR COLLEAGUE/S:
Warm Greetings.We would like to invite you to participate in the
International Workshop on Modeling, Simulation and Grid Computing (MODEL 2009) to be held on May 4 - 6, 2009 in Holy Name University, Tagbilaran City, Bohol, Philippines.
.
MODEL is a workshop series that is convened every two years since 1999. It started in November 1999 in Ateneo de Manila University (MODEL '99), followed by MODEL 2001 in MSU-Iligan Institute of Technology (Iligan City), MODEL 2003 in Philippine Science High School (Quezon City), MODEL 2005 in the University of Cebu (Banilad Campus, Cebu City), and MODEL 2007 in Boracay Regency Resort and Convention Center (Boracay Island, Aklan).
MODEL 2009 is being organized by the Ateneo de Manila University Grid and High Performance Computing Group (A-GRID) in cooperation with the Computing Society of the Philippines (CSP) and Holy Name University.
Workshop Objectives:
1. To provide a forum for exchange of ideas, information, and research outputs on modeling, simulation, scientific computing, cluster computing and Grid computing among academics, research scientists, industry practitioners, and students.
2. To promote the development of mathematical and computer modeling, simulation, scientific computing, cluster computing and Grid computing in the Philippines and neighboring countries.
.
3. To promote research collaborations between Philippine institutions and international institutions.
.
SCOPE:
.
MODEL 2009 will feature tutorials on Cluster and Grid Computing by experts from Europe and Asia, keynote talks, special lectures by invited speakers, and research paper presentations on modeling, simulation, and scientific computing, cluster computing and Grid computing. It is supported by two international projects: the EUAsiaGrid project (
http://www.euasiagrid.org/) funded by the European Commission and the Germany-Philippine Collaboration on Grid Computing Project, funded by the German Ministry of Education and Research.
.
Topics include (but are not limited to):
- Mathematical/Statistical/Computational Modeling
- Computer Simulation
- High-Performance Computing and Communications
- Cluster Computing
- Grid Computing
- Numerical/Computational Methods
- Mathematical and Scientific Software
- Computational Science and Engineering
- e-Science
- Applications
CALL FOR ABSTRACTS:
.
Extended Abstracts of up to two pages maximum (including Title, Authors, E-mail Addressess, Brief Overview, Methodology, Results and Discussion, Conclusion and Recommendation or Concluding Remarks) are being solicited from prospective participants.
Selected paper presentations in MODEL 2009 will be invited to be submitted for publication in a special issue of the Philippine Information Techology Journal (PITJ) , a joint publication of the Computing Society of the Philippines (CSP) and the Philippine Association of Information Technology Educators (PSITE).
A parallel event to MODEL 2009 is the holding of the PANDA Grid Workshop on May 4 - 9, 2009 in Tagbilaran City and Panglao Island, Bohol. The PANDA Grid Network is a group of scientists and ICT professionals engaged in grid computing. This group is based in Europe and holds a workshop every year. For the first time, the PANDA Grid Workshop will be held outside Europe, with Ateneo de Manila University Grid and High Performance Computing Group as the local partner.
